Our one year old female California White was laying in the back of her cage today when I went out to feed them. Normally she gets up and comes to me to see what treats I have for her but today she just laid there not moving. She was still breathing but seemed to be staring up at the ceiling without blinking. I tried to get her to move but she wouldn't stand up. She reacts normally if I touch her legs and hind quarters but won't stand up on them.
She has just weaned her first litter. Their hutch is outside and they have daily romps in an enclosure in the yard. She was fine yesterday, hopping around and everything. Today she is eating and drinking just fine, just won't move her hind end.
Any ideas what to do? There's not a vet open or available today anywhere near us.
I brought her inside and put her in our room in a smaller cage with a water bottle where she can reach it without moving and have hand fed her some carrot tops and alfalfa hay, which she loves.

but she recovered, and a few days later was well enough to go back out to the rabbitry. You say your doe just weaned a litter - my experience makes me wonder if her minerals might be a bit depleted by that litter she raised.
